Overview
The SSU-2000 Synchronization Supply Unit (SSU-2000), shown in Figure 1-1, is a
high-performance, Synchronization Status Messaging (SSM)-compliant Timing
Signal Generator (TSG) or Synchronization Supply Unit that provides network
synchronization signals for the telephone and telecommunications industry.
Figure 1-1. SSU-2000 Synchronization Supply Unit
The SSU-2000 conforms to specifications for International, European and North
American applications as a Primary Reference Source (PRS), and Synchronization
Supply Unit (SSU), and Timing Signal Generator (TSG). The SSU-2000 allows for
the integration of a variety of synchronization reference schemes including GPS
and land line DS1/E1. The SSU-2000 meets or exceeds performance requirements
for ANSI and Telcordia Technologies (Bellcore) Stratum 2 and ITU and ETSI Type II
Transit Node clocks.
The SSU-2000 is designed to comply with the application flexibility and redundancy
concepts introduced in Telcordia Technologies (formerly Bellcore) GR-2830. A
selection of hot-swappable modules and powerful software allow users to easily
reconfigure, upgrade, or expand the SSU-2000 to meet a variety of
telecommunications synchronization application requirements.
The SSU-2000 fully supports Synchronization Status Messaging (SSM) as defined
by ANSI, Telcordia Technologies, ITU, and ETSI.
